Description
Ploegsteert is an old clay extraction area which has been converted to a mosaic of different marshy habitats and therefore a great location for many species of birds. Especially the extensive reedbeds in the area are great for species like Water Rail, herons, ducks and typical reed species, such as Reed Bunting and Bearded Tit. The area is a must see for Great Bittern and Black-necked Grebe.
___________________________
Des bassins d'extractions, convertis en zones humides marécageuses, présentent une mosaïque de milieux. La proximité des roselières est un des atouts de ce site, propices aux rallidés, ardéidés, anatidés et passereaux paludicoles. Le site est un must pour l'observation du Black-necked Grebe et du Great Bittern .... entre autres.
